…he told his secretary to “get this guy Brackett.” She then left for Hollywood, leaving a half-finished tale for ‘Planet Stories’, ‘Lorelei of the Red Mist’. She asked her good friend to complete it for her, which Ray Bradbury did seamlessly. Her husband was another SF/F writer of the era, Edmond Hamilton.

Leigh Brackett’s sword-and-planet adventure The Sword of Rhiannon was published in book form in 1953. It had been serialised in Thrilling Wonder Stories in 1949, as Sea-Kings of Mars.

The Mars of this story is now largely a desert planet but it had a glorious past and was once green and lush.

There's an ambiguous hero. And there's a beautiful but evil queen, always a plus.

Another of my obsessions is sword-and-planet fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Leigh Brackett, Poul Anderson and Catherine L. Moore's Northwest Smith stories being my favourites. Sword-and-planet fiction is basically sword-and-sorcery with science fiction elements in place of magic.
